What began as lunchroom freestyles became late night studio sessions. Unheard tunes turned into underground classics. A tireless effort slowly began to manifest itself. Forever honing his craft, J Shiltz is an MC defined by dedication and work ethic. The Sauga City/Toronto based artist is still young in the game, but growth is undeniable. Since the release of the Kev Brown produced “Louder” in 2010 he simply has not stopped.
Now, having just released his second official album “Still Standing” a clearer image begins to form of this Canadian MC. With a style characterized by a lyrical inclination and respect for the roots of the genre, Shiltz has been described as a cultivator of the golden era boom bap sound, yet the essence of innovation and new school ism can still be clearly heard in the music. Shiltz is a new talent, forged by classic influences, making hip-hop music for those who still want to hear banging beats and and dope rhymes.
J Shiltz just dropped his second album titled “Still Standing”. The fifteen track deep album features top notch production from Rich Kidd, Kev Brown, Relic, Twizzmatic, Lancecape, Junia-T, Charisma, M Mac, and Heights as well as collaborations with Rapper Big Pooh, A.G of D.I.T.C, Ray Robinson, pHoenix Pagliacci, Junia-T, Rich Kidd, Twizzmatic, Jon Moxin, DJ Docta, and Relic.
